Observant
Posted on January 9, 2025 in D20 iCore Trait
Observant is a trait that makes the character more prone to noticing subtle details and making deductions from them. It improves both Investigation activity and raw Perception uses. Generally speaking, an observant character can also process a scene as if they had taken greater care and time in a normal time frame.

The character gains a across-the-board +1 to all Investigation and Perception activities for each Measure of the trait. Unless a race or class grants it, characters can naturally only take a single Measure.

Insight (sense motive, etc.)
Posted on December 20, 2024 in D20 iCore Skill
With Insight you can sense the motivations and intent of others and assess the truthfulness in relation to what they are displaying or claiming in social situations. Using subtle clues – variations in speech, body language, reading between the lines, etc. – you get a deeper sense of their motives, moods and attitudes. If successful, it will reveal that some part of what is being revealed is not 100% truthful or accurate. It will NOT reveal the actual truth. It can also be used to assess varying degrees of competency in a target, assuming the character using the skill has enough knowledge themselves to look for the signs of what they are trying to assess. This can come from the way a target moves, carries themselves, acts, assess situations, talks about and/or other more subtle gestures and clues they give off.
- Major Result: Indicates what part of a reveal is lacking in complete truth, and perhaps if it is through leaving something out or actively mislead.
- Extraordinary Result: Reveals same as Major Result and the exact point and nature of deception.
Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.

Natural Explorer
Posted on December 17, 2024
Unless noted, the benefits of Natural Explorer apply to and operate within Natural Habitats only.
Benefits
FREE ACTION: The Natural Explorer may use their Free Action to make a Perception check to spot any irregularities – dangerous paths, out of place features, or difficulties in the environment they are viewing. This is done instinctively instead of taking a full action.- Although you do not need it, you are aware of the common (non-mystical) technology within your frame of reference that assists in wayfinding and safe travel and where to get it should you wish, and can plot out the fastest path using them.
- You have an ingrained sense of wayfinding – you remember all roads and pathways, weather, climate, and terrain you have traveled in assessing most efficient travel paths.
- You remain normally alert to dangers in the natural environment while traveling even when engaged in another activity such as Foraging, navigating, or Tracking.
- If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal walking (primary locomotion) movement rate unless your size, physiology, and/or habitat makes you obvious.
- Efficient Foraging: If you dedicate an entire Short Rest Cycle to Foraging, you can forage a small number of subsistence meals for a number of similarly sized characters.
- In any natural habitat, and for all natural creatures you gain Advantage when Tracking.
- In any habitat, you gain +1 on any communication check if you can observe the pack, tribe, herd, culture and/or society of those you are trying to communicate with, using subtle elements.
- When Unfettered and unimpeded, your normal locomotive movement rate is equal to your best of the movement rates of any mobility skills you are proficient in.
Efficient Travel: You gain the Trail Blazer capability.
This is one of a multitude of “Natural Potential” features. The character gains a +1 on all activities related to surviving, travel, exploration, and mobility in a Favored Habitat.
Appraising
Posted on December 9, 2024 in D20 iCore Skill
With Appraising, the character is conversant with the production, value, cultural knowledge, and use of goods. This is only academic, approximate knowledge – to a degree reflected by the skill level they possess related to the item they are appraising. The character has an understanding of the general value and availability of goods, and can test them to assess their item properties. Note that having skill related to the item may alone may be enough to assess physical properties exclusive of value. Assessing mystic items requires an applicable phenomenology skill: Occult, etc. This could be used (instead of Perception) in some circumstances to detect traps by noticing anomalies on normal features and items.
Accomplished Activity: – Lore Subjects, Object Types, Object Period (historical)
